Month: July 2012

I looked in our kitchen cupboard and found a red and a green tea cup. I thought if I create a little bit of shadow the image would be more interesting.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

This is a nice example of red-green in real life. I photographed these cacti in the Valley of Fire State Park in Southern Nevada.

Enjoy and keep on looking!

Service stations are great for color photography. You will find all kinds of different color combinations and of course also red – green.

Enjoy and keep on looking for great images!

The exercise for the week is Red-Green contrast. Create images that only (mostly) consists of red and green colors. watch how the colors interact and enjoy your photographs!

I saw this garden rake laying on a small hedge. I used the grip to create a frame around the twig with the green leaves.

I am beginning to like this exercise. After photographing the first round on a reflective surface I wondered how the rusty nails would look on small rocks. I tried a few shots and then decided to use only one screw. While I was taking away the two screws some rust fell on the rocks helping me to create this composition.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

I found some old rusty screws in my backyard and put them on a reflective surface. I decided to use a lamp with a natural light bulb as my main light source. I blocked all other light out as much as possible and photographed the screws using my 180mm macro lens. After experimenting for a few minutes I got this shot.

Enjoy and keep on making great images!

At the Railroad Station in LeGrand somebody left these nails behind. Judging from the amount of rust they were not too long there. For me it was the opportunity for an image for this exercise.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

While photographing the old Railroad Station in LeGrand, I discovered outside some old farm equipment which is slowly rusting away. I like the different brown tones in this images.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!
